THE WILD WEST IN KNGLIND.

The English press is not going into
raptures over the so called American eNhi-
bition AS We gather from the following:
The verdict of the English press on the
American exhibition is pronounced in de
ciSive terms. IL is essentially, says the
Times. a tradesmsn's exhibition. In no
sense can it be held representative of the
industries of the States. as the Canadian
Court last year was representative of the
dominion, This is, continues the Times,
entirely private enterprise, the main pur-
pose Ot which is to pay those who have
riSked their money. The IuiiH Telegraph
thinks people will hardly undertake tour
to West Brompton Ia gaze with ecStacy in
10 a case of grinnlng false teeth or liquid
fish glue ,'nr at an Ironclad bran-duSter.
Other papers write in similar tone, ali.
however. agreeing that there is a great deal
worth seeing now and will be more still
when thu exhibits are all ready.
They agree still more emphaticaily that
the real show is Buffalo Bills. Americans
